My first thoughts are that the Tintner Machine (or TM2) is basically a *dice* machine (/computer/robot) – with the dice deciding which option to take, when confronted with multiple, equally attractive but uncertain options.
But note that it will be a sophisticated multiple dice machine – because yes, Steve, I realise you can have a dice algorithm. The new TM will roll at least two and possibly many dice. A second dice will decide whether to accept the decision of the first dice OR to throw the first dice again OR to try and find/create a new dice with more, new options, via more thought/research/experiment. So the process has the potential to go on forever. (Note that this accords with what we visibly do in some decisions - “Heads I call her, tails I don.t” Tails. “OK let’s make that two out of three throws...” Two tails. “Ok let’s go for three out of five OR maybe I look for another way of deciding (and dealing with the problem) altogether”) ------------------------------------------- AGI Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/21088071-f452e424 Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=21088071&id_secret=21088071-58d57657 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
